NRG Radio Uganda presenter Evelyn Mic, popularly known as Evelyn Mic, has hit back at media personality Sheilah Gashumba after the latter suggested she could have the radio presenter fired over comments she made about her relationship.
The war of words follows a recent viral interview in which Sheilah, speaking to Kasuku and Frank Ntambi, launched a scathing attack on Evelyn, accusing her of attempting to sabotage her relationship with her boyfriend, Alex, after the presenter claimed on air that the couple had separated.
But Evelyn has refused to back down, insisting that she stands by her claims and has evidence to prove that Sheilah and Alex Bidandi had, at some point, called it quits.
“I stand by my word. I have proof that Sheilah and Alex separated, but because I put it out, they are trying to make up,” Evelyn said.
The presenter explained that she was initially unaware of the backlash surrounding her comments because she had been away mourning her sister’s death.
“I had no idea what was happening. I had gone for my sister’s burial. My friends kept telling me not to go on social media, while others were sending me audios about the positive side of the story,” she said.
Evelyn also defended her claims about Sheilah’s previous relationships, particularly allegations involving musicians Grenade Official and Fik Fameica.
When asked whether she was certain about the people Sheilah had dated, Evelyn maintained that she could substantiate her claims.
“I am a journalist and I stand by the truth,” she said.
According to Evelyn, she had even planned to give Sheilah an opportunity to respond to the allegations before the controversy escalated online.
“I said sorry because I know her as my colleague, and I told her personal assistant that I was going to do another story the next day to clear the air, saying Sheilah had told me her side of the story. But they didn’t give me a chance to do that. All they did was go on social media and rant,” she said.
She clarified that her apology was not necessarily a withdrawal of the claims she had made as a journalist, but rather an attempt to maintain their relationship as colleagues.
“I apologised because I know her as a colleague,” Evelyn explained.
She also accused Sheilah of recording their private conversation without her knowledge, describing the move as unprofessional.
“I had no idea she was recording me. That shows that Sheilah has some level of unprofessionalism,” she said.
Despite the backlash, Evelyn said she was unfazed by Sheilah’s comments and appeared confident that the truth would eventually speak for itself.
“I don’t feel bad about what Sheilah said because I know the truth. It is your man going around showing people screenshots of how you are pleading to get back into the relationship,” she claimed.
Evelyn also joked that her relationship commentary could ironically help couples resolve their problems.
“By the way, people should thank me. Every time I talk about people’s relationships, they sit down, figure things out and get back together,” she said.
The escalating feud took another turn when Evelyn was asked whether she feared losing her job over Sheilah’s threat to have her fired.
Her response was brief and defiant: “I dare her.”
